On August 10, 2026, the National Economics University (NEU) and the University of Birmingham (UoB), United Kingdom, officially signed a Cooperation Agreement, establishing an international transfer program for NEU’s Bachelor of Financial Technology students.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

The agreement opens opportunities for eligible Financial Technology students from the Banking and Finance Institute of the National Economics University to continue their studies at the Birmingham Business School, part of the University of Birmingham, which is ranked 68th in the world according to the QS World University Rankings 2027. The business school holds the prestigious Triple Crown accreditation of AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS. NEU students participating in the program will also benefit from exclusive support policies, notably a 15% tuition fee reduction each academic year at UoB.<\/p>\n\n

The agreement marks a new development in the internationalization strategy of the National Economics University, while expanding opportunities for students to access high-quality international education in economics, finance, and quantitative analysis\u2014fields undergoing significant transformation due to the impact of technology, data, and artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n

Collaboration with a Top 100 World University and a Triple Crown Accredited Business School<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The University of Birmingham is one of the UK’s leading research universities and a member of the Russell Group, a prestigious group of research-intensive universities in the UK. According to the QS World University Rankings 2027, the University of Birmingham is ranked 68th globally and tied for 10th in the UK. It is also ranked 98th in the world in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2026.<\/p>\n\n

Notably, the programs that NEU students can transfer into are all part of the Birmingham Business School, a Triple Crown accredited business school, holding the AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS accreditations. According to the University of Birmingham, only about 1% of business schools worldwide achieve all three accreditations.<\/p>\n\n

The combination of being a Top 100 world university and the internationally accredited quality of the Birmingham Business School provides a solid academic foundation for the transfer program, while expanding opportunities for NEU students to engage with a globally prestigious educational and research environment.<\/p>\n\n

Three Transfer Options for NEU Financial Technology Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

According to the Agreement, students who complete the first two years of the Bachelor of Financial Technology (BFT) program at the National Economics University and meet the academic, English, and admissions requirements of the University of Birmingham can apply for admission, with their accumulated academic results considered for transfer into the second year of one of three programs at the Birmingham Business School:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • Bachelor of Science in Economics (BSc Economics);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bachelor of Science in Money, Banking and Finance (BSc Money, Banking and Finance);<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bachelor of Science in Mathematical Economics and Statistics (BSc Mathematical Economics and Statistics).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Depending on the program and the organization of the curriculum at each point in time, students may study at the Edgbaston campus, Birmingham, United Kingdom, or the University of Birmingham’s campus in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Upon fulfilling all academic requirements, students will be awarded a Bachelor of Science (BSc Honours) degree by the University of Birmingham corresponding to the program they have pursued.<\/p>\n\n

    This pathway connects the interdisciplinary foundation in finance and technology at NEU with specialized directions in economics, monetary-banking-finance, mathematical economics, and statistics, thereby expanding international academic and career options for students.<\/p>\n\n

    Support Policies Exclusively for NEU Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    A highlight of the Agreement is the specific support policies that the University of Birmingham offers to students of the National Economics University. Accordingly, NEU students admitted to the program will receive a 15% tuition fee reduction each academic year at the University of Birmingham, provided they qualify for international tuition fees and meet the program’s regulations.<\/p>\n\n

    In addition to tuition fee incentives, NEU students can also participate in the University of Birmingham’s accommodation guarantee program for the first academic year at UoB, subject to the university’s registration conditions and deadlines. The Birmingham Business School will also provide information and guidance to students during the registration, admissions, and enrollment process. These policies contribute to creating more favorable conditions for NEU students to access and experience a high-quality international education environment.<\/p>\n\n

    Academic Standards Ensuring Quality Transfer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    To participate in the program, students must complete the first two years of the Bachelor of Financial Technology program at NEU with a minimum cumulative GPA of B+ (3.5\/4.0); achieve at least a grade B in the Econometrics 1 course; meet the requirements for other courses; and satisfy the English proficiency and admissions requirements of the University of Birmingham.<\/p>\n\n

    Clearly defining the entry standards not only ensures the academic quality of the program but also helps NEU students proactively build their study plans and prepare for transfer opportunities from the early years in Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n

    Expanding International Study Opportunities in NEU’s Internationalization Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

    Financial technology is a field that clearly demonstrates the increasing convergence between finance, economics, data, and technology. Through the transfer program with the University of Birmingham, NEU students have the opportunity to develop a foundation in Financial Technology in specialized directions, while enhancing quantitative analysis capabilities, international thinking, and adaptability in a global environment.<\/p>\n\n

    University of Birmingham Campus<\/em><\/p>\n\n

    As a leading university in Vietnam in the fields of economics, management, and business administration, the National Economics University (NEU) is continually expanding its collaboration with prestigious universities worldwide to diversify international learning opportunities for students and enhance connections with global education, research, and innovation ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n

    The agreement with the University of Birmingham clearly reflects this direction: from institutional-level collaboration to the development of specific academic pathways, where academic achievements at NEU are considered for recognition, allowing students to continue their studies at a leading global university.<\/p>\n\n

    With three transfer options at Birmingham Business School, tuition reduction policies, and dedicated support for NEU students, the program helps bring internationalization closer to learners while providing an additional pathway for NEU students to access global higher education, develop professional competencies, and prepare for the international labor market.<\/p>\n\n
